Default 97.3 MPH Y2k

It's DonY2K's y2k. Last month Jimmy Jaznoski (Extractor) drove this boat in 3 to 4 footers off of Patachouge and saw 94 solid on the Merc Speedo. Yesterday we decided to take a GPS along to see how accurate the speedo was. The bay was glass calm. we saw 87 on the spedo. GPS 93.2
We went out the Fire Island Inlet to make a run to Jones Inlet to see what we could do.
The fun part was , I was driving. After navigating the 6 foot swells in the inlet we were off to Jones Beach Inlet (after a short beer break ) The ocean was awesome!!! 3,4,6 foot swells, but far apart. I actually wish it was rougher.
We had a blast. The best speed I saw on the speedo was 91. After that run Don could'nt get the smile off his face. He showed me the GPS.... 97.3 MPH. MOVIN !!!!! If 91 on the merc speedo was 97.3.... what was 94??? 103 ???
We determined that with His boat. Up to 60 MPH. The speedo was off approx. 4 to 6 mph. 60 to 75 MPH it was off 6 to 8 mph. 75 and up , it was off almost 10 MPH.
We had an awesome day! I called in sick that day .......................I think . LOL
This Baby does over 100 in the right water.
Oh and Jeff ( JC performance) you build 1 hell of a motor !!!

Tommy Seatow may be on board with me for the CT River Run.
Should I make sure that he has another captain on duty?
